This document describes the design and simulation of a multiband patch antenna using a Pythagorean fractal structure. In the base antenna design, resonance is achieved at 8GHz. The first fractal iteration uses a Pythagorean triangle equation to modify the patch shape. In simulation, this first iteration achieves two resonances, at 8.2GHz and 9.2GHz, when fed by both a coaxial probe and microstrip line. While the radiation patterns are not perfectly broadside, radiation still occurs in the upper quadrant. The simple fractal structure provides a potential way to miniaturize antennas while achieving multiband performance.

This document discusses patch antennas. It describes the basic structure of a patch antenna, which consists of a radiating metallic patch on a dielectric substrate with a ground plane on the other side. Patch antennas radiate a linearly polarized wave and have a very low profile. Their primary limitation is narrow bandwidth, which is typically less than 5% for single-substrate designs. Common patch antenna geometries include rectangular and circular shapes to generate different beam patterns.
Design of antennas for the latest upcoming standards of WLAN is considered as a key challenge in the RF Communication Engineering.

This document summarizes a technical report on a compact, low-cost spatial-pattern diversity antenna system for mobile devices operating at 2.45GHz. The proposed antenna consists of two sets of passive arrays (A1 and A2), each with a probe-fed planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and an open-circuited PIFA (PILA).

Introducing a slit between the PIFA and PILA modifies the coupling and causes the PILA to act as a director, enhancing radiation in one direction. Variations to the slit width affect the resonant frequencies and directivity of

In present stereo audio system is a most popular audio system for different purposes. Now a day’s stereo system is commonly used in communication and other purposes. Moreover Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) based adaptive filtering is an effective filtering process in case of communication and other applications. However adaptive filtering is an adaptive filter process to cancel out the noise from audio signal successfully. Hence the main objective of this paper is to design a NLMS adaptive filter which cancels out the noise from a noisy wave format stereo audio file. Moreover by varying the order of the adaptive filter (such as 8th, 16th, 32th and 64th), the performance of the NMLS adaptive filtered signal with respect to reference and noisy stereo audio signal are analyzed as well.

The lengths and positions of the branches determine the desired notch frequencies. Both simulated and measured results show good agreement and dual band-notched performance across the UWB band, validating the design concept.
The document describes a microstrip-fed broadband circularly polarized monopole antenna. It discusses how asymmetric feeding is used to generate two orthogonal current components with a 90 degree phase difference, producing circular polarization. A rectangular slit and stub are added to the ground plane. Simulations show the slit helps produce circular polarization but causes impedance mismatch from 2-4 GHz. The stub excites a new mode, improving impedance matching in that band and only slightly affecting the circular polarization characteristics. This allows both a broad impedance bandwidth of 6.72 GHz and an axial ratio bandwidth of 1.37 GHz to be achieved simultaneously.
The document describes the design of a microstrip patch antenna with circular and step-shaped slots for S-band applications. A rectangular patch antenna with coaxial feed and step slots on four sides and a circular slot in the center is proposed. The antenna is simulated in HFSS and achieves a return loss of -38.42 dB at 3.73 GHz. The antenna has a 2D gain of 7.59 dB, elliptical polarization, and radiation patterns that make it suitable for weather radar applications in the S-band frequency range.
The document discusses and compares the performance of various antenna designs through return loss/VSWR plots and radiation patterns sourced from several research papers. Key findings include that bicone and monocone antennas have bandwidths over 7 GHz but are difficult to fabricate. A helix antenna with a capacitive coupling has the best performance of the helix designs with a bandwidth of around 4 GHz. Square planar monopole antennas with trident or double feeding strips have bandwidths of around 10 GHz.

Size Reduction and Gain Enhancement of a Microstrip Antenna using Partially D...IJECEIAES
Microwave engineers have been known to designedly created defects in the shape of carved out patterns on the ground plane of microstrip circuits and transmission lines for a long time, although their implementations to the antennas are comparatively new. The term Defected Ground Structure (DGS), precisely means a single or finite number of defects. At the beginning, DGS was employed underneath printed feed lines to suppress higher harmonics. Then DGS was directly integrated with antennas to improve the radiation characteristics, gain and to suppress mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Since then, the DGS techniques have been explored extensively and have led to many possible applications in the communication industry. The objective of this paper is to design and investigate microstrip patch antenna that operates at 2.4 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n, ,Zigbee, Wireless HART, Bluetooth and several proprietary technologies that operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The design of the proposed antenna involves using partially Defected Ground Structure and circular/cross slots and compare it to the traditional microstrip patch antenna. The results show improvement in both the gain of 3.45 dB and the S11 response of -22.3 dB along with reduction in the overall dimensions of the antenna. As a conclusion, the performance of the antenna has been improved through the incorporation with the DGS and slots structures regarding the S11 response and the gain. The proposed antenna become more compact. Finally, the radiation pattern of proposed antenna has remained directional in spite of adding slots on the ground plane.

DUAL BAND F-ANTENNA FOR EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICAijwmn
A single antenna for multiple bands are always beneficial from the design point of view. Here a single antenna which is fundamentally inverted F antenna is used, the uniqueness of the design is that , it uses trap technique to produce dual resonance from a single inverted F antenna . The trap used to block the current due to some frequencies and passes the current contributed by other frequencies. So in short , this trap is like a RF filter which has some passband as well as stop band. This trap approach uses a LC network to achieve this design goal .The two bands of interest are 865-870 MHz and 902-928 MHz .. The challenge of this design is that the frequency separation of the two bands is very small. In this case, and also the extra section for low frequency band is too small. Then, the influence of trap LC component variation due to tolerance to the two resonant frequencies is big, and so it is difficult to achieve good in band return loss within the LC tolerance. This is the main difficulty of this design. This issue is resolved by placing the low band section away from the end of the antenna. The antenna is designed on FR4 substrate material having thickness of 1.6 mm and hence it is a low cost solution which could use in various commercial applications which follows these bands.

Design of 10 to 12 GHz Low Noise Amplifier for Ultrawideband (UWB) SystemIJECEIAES
Balanced amplifier is the structure proposed in this article, it provides better performance. In fact, the single amplifier meets the specification for noise figure and gain but fails to meet the return loss specification due to the large mis-matches on the input & outputs. To overcome this problem one solution is to use balanced amplifier topography. In this paper, a wide-band and highgain microwave balanced amplifier constituted with branch line coupler circuit is proposed. The amplifier is unconditionally stable in the band [9-13] GHz where the gain is about 20dB. The input reflection (S11) and output return loss (S22) at 11 GHz are -33.4dB and -33.5dB respectively.
In this paper, a simulation and measurement return loss parameter results
comparison in frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed. More lowprofile and compact microstrip antennas have been developed in recent years
for 5 GHz, 5G, WLAN, Wi-Fi, and ISM band applications. These antenna
frequency bands may be single, dual, or multiband. The small microstrip
antenna, without connecting any external devices like switches, resonators,
and passive elements, does not show any variations in their simulation and
measurement results like return loss (S11 parameter), gain, and efficiency.
However, in the S11 parameter most frequency reconfigurable antennas
show a mismatch between simulation and measurement results. The reason
for this mismatch between the simulation and measurement results are given
in the paper.

The document describes a novel electrically small planar dipole antenna operating at 2.45 GHz. The antenna has extremely small dimensions of 11.2x5.1x1.575 mm, making it one of the smallest reported footprints at this frequency. Three matching approaches are studied to match the antenna's impedance to 50 ohms. Matching approach 1 has the highest efficiency of 87.4% and realized gain of 1.17 dBi. Approaches 2 and 3 have lower efficiencies around 40% due to increased surface currents from end-loading the dipole. The antenna is also modeled using an infinitesimal dipole model, which shows good agreement with simulations. Fabricated prototypes are presented for the three approaches

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

2 GHz Patch Antenna/Array Design

Patch Antenna/Array Design
Rashad Alsaffar (101006781), Celina Chan (101027792)
Abstract—The dimensions of a patch antenna are directly
affiliated with its performance. Operating frequency was assigned
individually to students to aim for minimum S11 return loss (¡
−20dB) for each patch antenna. A feed line supplied a 50Ω
impedance, ensuring maximum power transfer throughout the
device. The design would become amplified with the addition of
two antenna patches to develop an antenna array, increasing
overall gain and performance as opposed to a single patch
antenna. Dimensions of the array were tuned to match the
specifications of the individual patch antenna.
I. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this lab was to learn and understand the
design of a patch antenna within HFSS. An operating
frequency of 2GHz was assigned; the patch antenna must
try to simulate minimum return loss (S11 < −20dB) at the
mentioned operating frequency. To insure this, an online
calculator [1] was used to determine the dimensions of
the patch antenna. Dimensions were tweaked to meet the
specifications of the device. The feed line dimensions was
altered as well, to ensure a 50Ω impedance into the patch
antenna.
The design would be copied and pasted twice within
the patch array schematic; simulations would be ran to test
the performance of the patch array, where it would try to
meet the specifications for the individual patch antenna, i.e.
minimum return loss at operating frequency.
II. PATCH ANTENNA
The patch antenna model was made through HFSS. Its di-
mensions were tweaked to allow for an operating frequency
of 2GHz and minimum S11 return loss.

patch array model within HFSS. The design was once again
configured for resonance at 2GHz experiencing a minimum
S11 return loss.
